My Hero Academia, Vol. 18 (My Hero Academia, #18)

by Kohei Horikoshi

Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.

What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?

Midoriya is in the fight of his life—an all-out battle with Overhaul, who has unleashed all of his terrifying power. Midoriya is matching it with his own power, pushing One For All to 100 percent. Only by relying on Eri’s restoration Quirk can he hope to take down Overhaul. If Midoriya manages to walk away from this fight, his life will never be the same again…

Wow. The conclusion for the current plot was so much more intense than I expected. I have to say that I'm really happy they took things so seriously though. It adds a sense of permanency to what is happening. Granted, the series has already proven that they're willing to do that, what with Deku's injuries and everything. But still, it's refreshing to see.
It's nice to see a series be capable of both humorous points and more heavy points, as evidenced in this volume. This volume had both, in fact. After the heavier plot and conclusion, I think they felt a bit more free to have some fun.
I do hope they'll keep us updated on a certain character's situation. Actually, there are two characters I'm going to want updates on. If you're following the series, then you know exactly which ones I'm talking about.
That being said, the 'fun' in this volume was something I was really really hoping they'd cover! The additional training for those that failed to get their provisional license. It was everything I could have hoped for, and then some.
